Dr. Seuss’ Birthday
Yes, there really was a Dr. Seuss. He was not an official doctor, but
his prescription for fun has delighted readers for more than 60
years. Theodor (“Ted”) Seuss Geisel was born on March 2, 1904,
in Springfield, Massachusetts. His father, Theodor Robert, and
grandfather were brewmasters and enjoyed great financial success
for many years. His mother, Henrietta Seuss Geisel, had worked in her father’s bakery
before marrying Ted’s father, often memorizing the names of the pies that were on
special each day and ‘chanting’ them to her customers. If Ted had difficulty getting
to sleep, she would often recall her ‘pie-selling chants.’ As an adult, Ted credited his
mother “for the rhythms in which I write and the urgency with which I do it.”
Ted attended Dartmouth College where he worked hard to become the editor in chief
of Dartmouth’s humor magazine. His reign as editor came to an abrupt end when Ted
was caught throwing a party that did not coincide with school policy. He continued
to contribute to the magazine, merely signing his work as “Seuss.” This is the first
record of his use of the pseudonym Seuss, which was both his middle name and his
mother’s maiden name. It was a perfectly ingenious pseudonym; it squeaked Ted’s
work past unsuspecting college officials, yet clearly identified him as the creator.
From all those who enjoyed reading his tales as a child and for all the generations to
come that will get the same pleasure from his stories, Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!
